连吃一个月麦当劳,竟然还瘦了?这是什么情况
A man ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days and managed to lose weight to prove a point about calorie intake and weight loss - but experts do not recommend trying a similar "diet." Ryan Williams, 29, a postman from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, decided to undertake the fast food diet to disprove the 2004 documentary Super Size Me - which sees Morgan Spurlock eat nothing but McDonald's for 30 days and gain 24lbs. According to Williams, Spurlock's documentary presented a skewed version of the challenge - so the postman-turned-bodybuilder decided to film himself following the same diet to prove that it is possible to get in shape while eating McDonald's only. However, Williams also spent an hour at the gym each morning - which Spurlock did not when he set out on the challenge. The postman documented his journey on his YouTube channel "Ry," where his 1,200 followers watch him eat quirky things, and found that after the month was over, he was 16lbs lighter. Of the food challenge, Williams said: “I’ve wanted to do this for a few years, but I never found the right time. “But recently I saw an advert for 50 years of Big Mac and it made me think that there's quite a lot of negative feeling towards McDonald's, with regards to it being unhealthy.” For his own challenge, Williams stressed the importance of balancing caloric intake with staying in shape. Williams began the month eating 2,500 calories per day - the recommended calorie intake for a male adult - but dropped down to 2,300 by the end of the second week. In the final two weeks of the challenge, he dropped his calories slightly further, depending on how his weight and body fat index were performing. And according to Williams, despite being told he looked tired, his energy levels “sustained throughout the month.” |
